dale0404 5 Posted June 18, 2013 Hi all, Been wondering this for a few days now. I know in Arma we had that mountain in the NE of Sarahni which was called "Pico de Perez", East of Eponia and in vanilla Arma 2 there isn't really any big mountains. So in Arma 3 on Altis will there be some mountains and what is the highest point and can we get to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maio 293 Posted June 18, 2013 The highest point on the real island is Mount Skopia: Mount Skopia, rises at an altitude of only 470 metres source Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XSOF - Toxx 10 Posted June 18, 2013 According to Wiki, the highest point on Limnos is called Vigla (Βίγλα) and 430 meters high. Edit: maionaze was faster and found a higher point^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaRkL3AD3R 1 Posted June 18, 2013 That's still pretty darn high for an infantry focused game. I would hate to have to scale that in game on foot :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sundowner 11 Posted June 19, 2013 For infantry it might be a bit high, for aircrafts that terrain is pretty much flat ;) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41767723/Pictures/2013-6-19_17-38-57-504.jpg Agios Efstratios in the foreground, further north (up) Limnos, then Samothraki island.

scarecrow398 43 Posted June 20, 2013 The highest point on the real island is Mount Skopia: source True, but isn't Altis at 75% scale of lemnos, wouldn't this cause the height to change? assuming BI didn't change it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkDruid 96 Posted June 28, 2013 True, but isn't Altis at 75% scale of lemnos, wouldn't this cause the height to change? This is the right direction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simon1279 53 Posted June 28, 2013 Good things this game isn't CoD. We can just use a helicopter :) Or serious offroad for serious gamers lol or the mountain to scale seems too high, no problem we have the right solution for you, get in the chopper and bring a parachute bag, and once you're at 4000 fts baaaiiilll out bro lol :D, even if i prefeir the dear old extreme offroad ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted June 29, 2013 This is the right direction One little question, why didn´t you make the Island 1:1? Would it simply be too big, too time consuming to make, or something else? Just curious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dale0404 5 Posted June 29, 2013 What I want to know is, is the highest point on Altis scalable? IE, can you get to the top of it on foot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
